I just take mine out on the highway to about 75 or 80 and find a place where I can get heavy on the brakes. A couple of hard stops generally works to keep them quiet for a while.

Hit them with a hard stream of water and get all the dust out of there.

Ditto!

Exit ramps are great for regular preventive maintenance by performing some hard braking.

I've gotta coordinate my brake squeel with a car wash to try whatcop's idea. Makes the brakes last longer!

stock brakes shouldn't squeal... stomp on them hard, clean them up... one of these should do the trick..
